I’ve recently upgraded my 32GB 50MB/s CF to the SanDisk Extreme 120MB/s 64GB. Works perfectly.
I didn’t notice a difference in speed concerning Octatrack project operations. But I did notice a difference in data upload speeds when transferring files from my laptop to the Octatrack via USB Disk Mode.
hi all
I have buy a
SANDISK Extreme 32GB 120Ms/s UDMA7 800X
and
SANDISK Extreme PRO 32 Gb 160 mb/s 1067X UDMA7
The both DON’T WORKS
I m completely disappointed
…get a sandisk PRO ULTRA something…64gb max…don’t go for cheap here…it’s THE essential detail on the ot for anything to come…be always gentle, soft and careful when putting it in…never rush if changing…
The maximum size which the OT can handle is 64GB (documented somewhere here in this thread and also in the manual).
800x or 1066x doesn’t make any difference for the OT itself. Just when using the CF card in an external reader it may be faster (depends on the reader, of course). But who needs an external reader when transferring data via USB is so simple and convenient? No need to remove the card from the OT.
Perhaps there’s not much value in speeds > 50 MB/s for most applications, but what about loading time?
Have any of you upgraded your card, put some old projects on it and noticed any improvement in loading-time?
